Cook Children's Pediatrics

Fort Worth

John Ryan Ste. 101

At Cook Children's, taking care of kids means including the whole family. We take the time to listen to you and your child, answer questions and help you navigate the "perils" of parenthood.

We're parents too! We know kids when they're at their best ... and when they're feeling their worst. Our pediatricians are specialists in the health care of infants, children and adolescents.

We're here to help you with well-child visits, vaccines, illnesses, behavior problems, learning disorders, and to answer questions all parents have at one time or another. If your child has a chronic illness, we're here to provide you with a medical home and make sure he or she gets the attention and care they need.

Together with you, we'll get your kids on the path to leading happy and healthy lives!

Patient forms

We know that filling out forms can be time consuming, however, they are a required part of your child's care. For your convenience, we've provided patient information and consent forms here. Just print them out, fill in the information, sign them and bring the completed forms with you when you come in for your appointment.

Continued care

Referrals to a specialist may be made by your doctor. However, no referrals are made until your child has been seen by his or her primary care physician.

If you are a member of a managed care plan (HMO), a referral form is required for treatment by a specialist. Allow five to seven working days for the referral to be completed and mailed.

After-hours calls

After office hours, your call will be answered automatically by our answering service. A message will be taken and transferred to the Cook Children's Health Care System nurse triage system. A nurse will return your call as soon as possible, usually within the hour, to offer input about your child's symptoms. In cases of emergency, your pediatrician will be contacted.

Please limit after-hours calls to those that you feel are truly urgent. Feeding questions, prescription refills or appointment requests are not considered appropriate after-hours calls. Colds, congestion and constipation generally do not warrant after-hours calls.
